This item is the first set in LifeColor's new Tensocrom weathering system. It is a solution of pigments which can be mixed in a special medium (included), which can be glazed over any brand of colour to shade, dirty or age the model, enhance its details or make it chromatically uneven. Tensocrom can be applied with a paint brush or an airbrush.

TSC 201 Tensocrom Medium (22ml)
TSC 202 Sand (22ml)
TSC 203 Earth (22ml)

TSC 206 Rust 2 (22ml)

LifeColor paints are popular and give great results, but in common with most other paints it pays to become familiar with their quirks in order to get the best results. In case you aren't familiar with them, below are a few tips we've picked up if you are applying LifeColor with an airbrush;

Lifecolor should be thinned before use, with distilled water or a 50/50 distilled water and thinner mix. Some modellers have reported good results thinning with Windex.
Thinned Lifecolor will most likely seem watery compared to other makes of paint. It is best by far to apply it in several thin coats.
Set your airbrush / compressor to a very low pressure; I've heard that 12 psi seems to be the most common pressure used. Using higher pressures will blow the paint around and cause "runs".
A great advantage of the need to apply multiple coats is that Lifecolor works really well if you like a pre-shading technique.
Make absolutely sure the threads of the jar are clean before you close the lid. A prime cause of airbrush clogging is flakes of dried paint from the lid falling into your new mix.
If the cap or threads have dried paint on, it's worth pouring the paint into your mixing container through a fine mesh (or even a piece of muslin or stocking cloth) in order to catch any loose flakes and prevent airbrush clogging.
Mix the paint thoroughly before use, but it's better to do this by stirring rather than shaking it, to reduce the amount of "frothing" you get.
